Hi, My name is Judy. I am professor emerita of Linguistics at Northeastern Illinois University having retired in 2018 after 35 years of undergraduate and graduate teaching and advising. I completed my undergraduate degree in linguistics at Northwestern University and my doctorate in linguistics at Georgetown University. I have four children--one who earned her degree at George Washington University, one currently completing his master's degree in social work and earning his rabbinical ordination at Yeshiva University, and two sons who graduated from NYU and are now enrolled in Ph.D. programs at UCLA. I have published four texts and numerous articles in linguistics and presented at many scholarly conferences.

I worked with my children throughout their education on honing their composition skills. When the time came, we worked on university applications and related essays. I spent plenty of my teaching years helping my students structure and edit their writing both for courses and for their graduate school essays. I am passionate about language and languages and can tutor all areas of language arts.
